## Synopsis

FROM (2022-present) is an American supernatural horror mystery series created by John Griffin and produced for MGM+ and Epix. Harold Perrineau plays Boyd Stevens, a figure at the center of a community of unwilling residents in a nightmarish middle American town that traps everyone who enters. Catalina Sandino Moreno plays Tabitha Matthews, and Eion Bailey plays Jim Matthews, while Ricky He and David Alpay round out the principal group. The residents struggle to maintain a fragile sense of normalcy, sharing meals, work and routines, while searching for a way out and bracing against the forest that surrounds them. When the sun goes down, the creatures emerge, turning every night into a test of nerve. The story unfolds as a serialized mystery in which each episode layers new clues onto a larger puzzle about the town itself. The tone is eerie, claustrophobic and dread-filled, with bursts of visceral gore and an unsettling folk horror atmosphere. Fans of Lost, Twin Peaks and The Village will find resonance in its mix of communal survival, slow reveals and the unease of a place that refuses to let anyone leave.
